hello, I would like to get back to posting on the attributes of God_ for "R" I choose REDEEMER
Both in the OT and NT God is spoken of as our Redeemer- one who rescues, ransoms, or makes payment to deliver someone from condemnation, death, evil, sin, slavery, bondage.
Job 19:25 -The LORD is Job's Redeemer
Ps. 19:14 -the LORD is David's Redeemer
Is. 48:17 - the holy One of Israel is Redeemer
Hosea 13:14 from death
Ps. 49:15 from the grave
Rom. 3:24 -redemption came through Jesus Christ
Rom 8:23 Jesus redeems our bodies
1 Cor. 1:30- Jesus is our righteousness, holiness and Redeemer
Eph 1:7 -Jesus paid our ransom with his blood to redeem us
Col. 1:14-in Christ Jesus we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins
Heb 9:12- In Jesus we have eternal redemption
Lk. 1:68 -redeemed his people
Gal 3:13; 4:5-from the curse of the law
Titus 2:14 - from wickedness
We know that Scriptures clearly say that God is our Redeemer in the OT and NT.
How great it is that Jesus, (the eternal Word) became flesh to be the perfect Kinsman Redeemer for us-a human man to live a perfect life which He (as God in the flesh) could only do, and to give His infinite and invaluable life as the payment for our sins. The Father gave His Son, the Word, Jesus, for us in the incarnation, the Holy One, to ransom us from the domain of sin, hell, and the grave and bring us into His glorious Eternal Divine Kingdom.
The Holy Spirit regenerates us with the power that raised Jesus from the dead to come to faith in Jesus that we may be saved and inherit what God has determined for us to receive due to the everlasting covenant made within the Godhead before ANYTHING was created.
All praise and worship we bring rightly to the Father, the Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit Whom together in unity did all that the will of God determined was to be the terms of our redemption. There has never been a perfect man in all of history. Man is unable to live a perfect life. But God become flesh alone could.
2 Sam. 7:26 says that The LORD Almighty is God over Israel. He is our God as well.
David speaks of resting in the shadow of the Almighty in Ps.91:1 WE, too, can rest in Him, as Jesus promised to give us rest when we come to Him.
Rev. 19:6 says the LORD God Almighty reigns. He is sovereign! He reigns far above all else. No one can rest His throne of glory from Him.
2 Chr. 32:7 says that the Israelites had a greater power with them than whom was against them.
His great power saves us. Ps. 20:6
Hosea 13:14 says that God has power to ransom His own from the power of the grave and death.
God's mighty power gave the Son the victory over death and the grave in raising Him from the dead to be alive evermore.
Luke 1:35 says to Mary that the power of the Most High will bring about the conception of the Holy One in her even as she is a virgin.
Rom. 1:20 says that God's power is eternal.
1 Cor. 1:24 says that Christ is the power of to those who are called. We do not have the power to save ourselves, but Jesus does.
And in 15:24 Paul says that God will put an end to all dominion. power, and authority after subduing every enemy, crushing them under the feet of Jesus.
Col. 2 :10 says that in Jesus is the head of all power and authority.
Heb. 7:16 says that Jesus had the power of an indestructible life.
How Great Is Our God, Great in Power, Great in Wonder, King of Heaven.
When referring to passages that are cross referenced; there are the obvious ones such as events described in more than one Gospel; for example. The presence of such is often a nearly identical passage; but the viewpoint of the author tied in with the particular message the Spirit of God is conveying will often either bypass a point or add something to the context. Such would be the case; for instance with the subject of divorce which is in Luke and Mark (where remarriage is ALWAYS considered adultery); and in Matthew where two passages allow for the so called "escape" clause based on what is translated "fornication". Further insights on that subject are something to be covered elsewhere; although in this case I would point out that this is the only Gospel (Matthew) that discusses Joseph's desire to "divorce" his wife (who was in fact a woman espoused to him but nonetheless according to the culture had the same legal constraints as one who actually had consummated the marriage).
Sometimes something seems to pop up in unexpected places in the O.T.; Hosea 13:14 is a good example. Within that text there is talk of destruction for the Edomites and Israel's judgments in particular then this suddenly crops up in the middle of that discussion. That book itself is a very interesting tale as to God's demands of Hosea; and what may seem on the surface to God going through conflicting emotions. There are of course many prophetic texts such as what I have gone over recently about Christ found in the Psalms; many verses of which were quoted by Christ Himself read part of Isaiah 61 but stopped short of the prophetic implications in the text for the return of Christ (see Luke 4:16-17).
There are certain things which are more general than others; most prophecy does have multiple applications. This may tie into the personal applications for a Prophet and a future Messianic one. Part 2 to come...
I hope that you will know our Lord Jesus Christ more and more with each new day He give you to live in this life. It is Jesus Who leads us to the Father, and the Holy Spirit Who leads us to Jesus, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ that activates the working of salvation in one's life. Not Mary, not any saint, nor any other means. Jesus is the ONLY Mediator between the Father and us ( 1 Timothy 2:5. Jesus is our ONLY Savior ( Hosea 13:4; Isaiah 43:11) Mary attested to this in Luke 1:47 in the Magnificat.
Romans 10:8-12 says that if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. And in Romans 1:16 Paul say that he is not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.
Angela, you do not need to appeal to Mary or anyone else but Jesus for salvation and all of your spiritual needs. He is our all in all. Mary was a humble woman. She was eager to agree to being the mother of our Savior. God chose her. She is special for that. But she is not involved in saving us in any way. God could have chosen another woman to conceive our Savior. But there can be no other as our Savior but Jesus. I think Mary was a godly example for all of us. She no doubt was meek and did not wish to bring glory to herself. She knew her role and standing before God. She did not seek more than being an obedient servant of God. She would not wish to have all of the (misguided) adulation given to her. She knows that all of the glory, honor, and praise is reserved strictly for our Triune God. He alone is God and worthy of our worship. Turning to Mary for help is like turning to any other pagan idol, as the Israelites did with the golden calf or the cakes baked to the "Queen of Heaven" (Ishtar), or the Asherah poles to the idol similar to Ishtar.
Angela, much of what the Catholic Church teaches about Mary go back to very ancient times after the flood.....
Interestingly in Michigan the Northern winds blow, it feels like bitter coldness inside, freezing your nose inside like icicles, even through your clothing layers. In Southern California when the " Santa Ana winds" dry & hot, dusty, both very district & unpleasant. The winds that blow East from the Pacific Ocean even summertime bring cool, unpleasant chills as early evening approaches. Etc. (In some personal observation of distinct winds.)
The next important question is who is I, is it the writer, who wrote the words, or is it Christ who spoke the words.
This study is going to take a while, because it take lots of references from outer scriptures to come to TRUTH.
Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns seven crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Revelation 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard .....
Hosea 13:7 Therefore I will be to them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them.
Jeremiah 5:6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evening shall spoil them, and a leopard shall watch over their cities: each one that goeth out thence shall be torn to pieces, because their transgressions are many, and their blackslidings are increased.
Who is the City that the leopard is watching over?
Revelation 3:12 ....and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God ....
Revelation 13:2 .....and his feet as the feet of a bear .......
Hosea 13:8 And I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and I will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild BEAST shall tear them.
Amos 5:19 And if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear meet him, or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall and a serpent bite him.
This BEAST is Christ.
Make your rebuttal, I'm out of characters, and we will try to come to truth of these first one and a half verses, then proceed on.
Brother Adam, here is two more scriptures that have the Hebrew word, sheol.
Psalms 49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the GRAVE (Heb. sheol): for he shall receive me. Selah.
Hosea 13:14 I will ransom them from the power of the GRAVE (Heb. sheol)...
I wonder why the translators didn't translated the Hebrew word, sheol, into the word HELL, in the above scriptures. Probably it would have destroyed their HELL doctrine.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
The celebration: O death, where is your sting? This is a quote from Hosea 13:14, the victory song. O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
So it's a Jewish victory song that Paul is pulling from the Old Testament, and he's saying that our struggle will be over at that time. It will be God who will give us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Jesus defeated death. He rose from the dead. And because He lives, we shall live also. And that will happen because He lives inside of me. Wherever He goes, I am going to go. He's in my spirit. Wherever He goes, I'm going to go. Wherever He is, that's where I'm going to be. However long He lives is how long I'm going to live, and He never dies. He lives forever so I will live forever.
Now if He is still in the grave, even if He died for your sins on the cross, there's no life hereafter if He's not risen from the grave, and you'll still die in your sins.
Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
Jeremiah 31:11
For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
Hosea 13:14
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
Matthew 20:28
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Mark 10:45
For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
1 Timothy 2:6
Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
verse 6: According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten ME..... Notice: 2020 proves we are a repeat of the above because good pasture from GOD is provided many today by way of sunshine, rain, bread on the table, education, jobs, SSI, IRA, 401k, stocks, bonds, reduced rent, credit cards, subsidies from government, refinance, green paper made by man, hi-tech toys, and we turned all these mention into idols, thereby angered JEHOVAH like those in this chapter. Nevertheless there is SALVATION for each of us through John 3:16-21.
Verily, GOD makes all to repent. For a soul is saved for every earthen vessel, being redeemed by Christ: as it is GOD'S perfect will. But that spirit of antichrist, standing now in the same earthen vessels, rebels against GOD'S commandment. That antichrist spirit blasphemed the Holy Ghost in the last world, and blasphemes the Holy Ghost in this evil world, and in the world to come: it repents not:
16 Samaria shall become desolate for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. Make them repent Lord. Don't do this.
Again, let's understand what Jehovah God is saying in Hos. 13:4 when he says, "for there is no savior beside me." He is revealing to us his NT name of Jesus. See Jesus means the God who saves, or God save me. That is, when God came to the earth as a man he called himself Jesus, and it was by this name that he went to the cross to save us from our sins. Amen
When Jehovah God says in Hos 13:4 "for there is no saviour beside me," he was saying that it is he who came to the earth that Christmas day and walked the earth as a man. And it is he who healed the sick, raised the dead, gave sight to the blind and made the lame walk. And finally, it is he who went to the cross and died to pay our sin debt. O how I wish we could understand! Praise God!
It is a terrible thing to fall into the severe hands of the LORD rather than good, if by HIS grace and mercy, you were able to amount into prosperity in all ramification of life all glory should be given to HIM not yourself or any man cos it triggers complacency, contempt and pride which at the end is utter destruction even by your own self.
Verse 12 in chapter 10 speaks of the Lord raining righteousness. Perhaps the drought here in verse 5 is symbolic, meaning the people in the wilderness, an uncontrolled area, are unrighteous.
Jesus my redeemer lives and death has no power over me because He has conquered death, hell, and the grave. My freedom is in Christ, who is my Lord and Savior. Nothing can separate me from the Love of God. He is Jehovah Jireh, my provider.
YAHchanan MoshAH Baruch on Romans 8:11 - 12 years ago
There are so many scriptural references that teach the transformational process of these mortal bodies, like 1 Corinthians 15, Hebrews 2:14-15, 1 John 3:8, 2 Timothy 1:9-10, Hosea 13:14, John 8:51-52, John 11:24-27, 1 Peter 1:22-25 and there are many more that YAHUWAH has revealed to my heart concerning the restoration of all things that teaches we are coming to the fullness of the true teachings of MeoshiYAch that He destroyed the death process in the physical body to grant true immortality in all of your physical body. The message of the gospel was all about immortality to your whole being not just a spiritual aspect, hallow the first and second Adam which are the two keys in the immortal Name of YAHUWAH. The message YAHUWAH is bringing is the fullness of the death, burial, and resurrection of His blessed Son YAHUW-shua which shall be taught into all the world as a witness of the eternal reign of the kingdom of shamaYAim and the end shall truly come, for the last enemy to be put under the feet of MeoshiYAch is death. Therefore the final message or the last trump upon the earth will be the wisdom of the fullness of love and life that is free from all forms of fear in YAHUW-shua who was raised from the dead by the power of the immortal breath of YAHUWAH, hallo RUWach QadUWsh, immortal soul of YAHUWAH breathed forth that was put upon all the true followers of MoeshiYAch known as the YAHUWans or the taught ones of YAHUW-shua the blessed Son of the immortal Creator of all creation. There are much greater revelation insights that RUWach is bringing to us at the Tree of Life that would be to lengthy in this format that have vast scriptural proofs concerning the issue of physical immortality restored through MeoshiYAch that have been omitted in all of the modern day translations that are in the original scrolls of the prophets and the true followers of MeoshiYAch that the RUWach is unveiling to us in our fellowship at the Tree of Life. YAHUWAH is our immortal Father and YAHUW-shua is our blessed Deliverance from all death and is our authority to the Tree of Life.
God is the only savior, and blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. There is one name given unto man where by we must be saved, and that is Jesus. Jesus is the only one who can save us from the power of the grave. Jesus defeated satan who had the power of death on the Cross, and gave us the victory when he rose from the grave the third day. Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. What manner of love the Father hath bestowed on us that we should be called the children of God, and it does not appear what we shall be. We shall be like him, for we will see him as he is. So don't dispair that judgement will come, because Jesus paid it all. All to him we owe, for sin hath left a crimsome stain, but he washed it white as snow.
around the time moses was given the ten commandment 1545 bc the year maybe wrong werent there other laws of the land like maat not going against anybody be.lie.fs
Hosea 13:16 "They shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed into pieces: and their women with child shall be ripped up".
What is the moral?
Both in the OT and NT God is spoken of as our Redeemer- one who rescues, ransoms, or makes payment to deliver someone from condemnation, death, evil, sin, slavery, bondage.
Job 19:25 -The LORD is Job's Redeemer
Ps. 19:14 -the LORD is David's Redeemer
Is. 48:17 - the holy One of Israel is Redeemer
Hosea 13:14 from death
Ps. 49:15 from the grave
Rom. 3:24 -redemption came through Jesus Christ
Rom 8:23 Jesus redeems our bodies
1 Cor. 1:30- Jesus is our righteousness, holiness and Redeemer
Eph 1:7 -Jesus paid our ransom with his blood to redeem us
Col. 1:14-in Christ Jesus we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins
Heb 9:12- In Jesus we have eternal redemption
Lk. 1:68 -redeemed his people
Gal 3:13; 4:5-from the curse of the law

We know that Scriptures clearly say that God is our Redeemer in the OT and NT.
How great it is that Jesus, (the eternal Word) became flesh to be the perfect Kinsman Redeemer for us-a human man to live a perfect life which He (as God in the flesh) could only do, and to give His infinite and invaluable life as the payment for our sins. The Father gave His Son, the Word, Jesus, for us in the incarnation, the Holy One, to ransom us from the domain of sin, hell, and the grave and bring us into His glorious Eternal Divine Kingdom.

All praise and worship we bring rightly to the Father, the Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit Whom together in unity did all that the will of God determined was to be the terms of our redemption. There has never been a perfect man in all of history. Man is unable to live a perfect life. But God become flesh alone could.

Now if He is still in the grave, even if He died for your sins on the cross, there's no life hereafter if He's not risen from the grave, and you'll still die in your sins.

Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
